Don't forget DQM 2 and Theatrhythm Dragon Quest.
Please! There's barely any text compared to a massive RPG like DQVII. I need it.
Don't forget DQM 2 and Theatrhythm Dragon Quest.
If it happens, then cool, I'll pre-order both games and add them to my DS Dragon Quest collection. If not, then why would that guy even say such a thing, especially at a Japanese-only event?
Until I am able to pre-order the game, I won't believe it. Hell, until I'm actually playing it on my 3DS I won't believe it.

最後に、それぞれ感想を述べる中、堀井氏は「ひとつ発表をしたいと思います。『DQVII』、『DQVIII』のニンテンドー3DS版をフランスで出したいと思います!」と、サプライズ発表! これには観客からも大きな喜びの声が挙がる! 一方、青海氏は「いやいや、正式発表はまだですから!」と慌てていたが? 正式発表が待ち遠しい!
Ouch, probably still not happening then.
Famitsu has published their own story about the Square Enix showcase at Japan Expo: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201507/05082479.html
They have a better account of yesterday's announcement:
At the end of the DQ stage, Yuji Horii said "I want to announce one thing. I want to release Dragon Quest VII and VIII for 3DS in France!", to which DQ producer Ryota Aomi replied: "Wait! There is no official announcement yet!"
So it doesn't seem 100% certain at the moment but I guess Horii definitely wants to make it happen.
Why is that ?

Well if I'm the creator of some games I want as many people to play them as possible but that doesn't mean the company is willing to allocate the funds to make that happen.

But it could also simply means he announced the games while there is no official announcement yet (which is true !) . I don't think SE would announce the games at a French event with a french localization first, seems pretty unorthodox. ;-)
I'd assume they want to keep him sweet, I don't think they can contractually make mainline DQ games without his say so. And it's not a huge cost for these ones given the bulk of the translation work is done.
pretty sure it's happening

That's my view point on this now. These games are perfect for mobile (I just wish they were in landscape, not portrait).

Oh don't worry, they may not bother to bring the 3DS localizations over but they will definitely do it for those imaginary PS4 versions you want!!Well if I'm the creator of some games I want as many people to play them as possible but that doesn't mean the company is willing to allocate the funds to make that happen.
The fact that he calls it an announcement is pretty telling there's something in the works.

I just read the Famitsu article but come on. It's basically confirmed if SE allowed Famitsu to make such write-up.
I don't care if they release DQ 7/8 as a Dual Pack like the Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire pack, shown below:
It'll sell.

Wait, what? Does Hori actually own part of the DQ license?
Uh yeah. He owns the majority of the DQ license. Nothing happens for DQ without his approval.
Didn't know that, I thought it was a Square Enix property and he was just the heading producer for it.
Yuji Horii isn't an employee of Square Enix. He is a freelancer (with his own personal studio called Armor Project). In fact, Enix itself started out as a video game publisher which employed zero programmer/designer and struck publishing deals with freelancers instead.
